COFFEE-POT.

SPEQIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 445,652, dated February3, 1891.

Application filed May 9, 1890. Serial No. 351,124. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERIGK NoRToN, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York city,in the county of New York and State of NewYork, have in vented a certain new and useful Improvement inCoffee-Pots; and I do hereby declare the following to bea full, clear,and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to certain improvements in coffee-peis, Whichwill be hereinafter more particularly described and pointed out.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specfication, Figure1 is a vertical transverse section. Fig. 2 is a Vertical transversesection of a condenser. Fig. 3 is avertical transverse section of thecondensercase. Fig. 4 is a bottom view of Fig. 3.

A is the coffee-pot for boiling the water and also the coffee.

B is the condenser for cold water, ice, or any cooling Substance, and ismade with a narrowneck b and stopper E, which may be slipped over theneck t, or may be fitted with Screw-threads.

C is a condenser-case having the lower part c made to fit nicely in theOpening a of the pot A. The cover F is made to fit the opening cc andthe Opening c'of the caseC is made to correspond with the cover F, sothat the cover will fit both the pot and case and should be steam-tight.So, also, should be the fitting of the seat c of the case O in the mouthcc of the pot.

The bottom of the case C is open; but there are two rods I) placeddiametrically across the bottom having the seats d, on which thecondenser can rest. Lugs may be. used where the seats cl are and therods omitted.

There is a series of holes c in the case C to permit the steam from thepot to pass into it and around the condenser B.

The Operation is as follows: A suflicient qnantity of water, either hotor cold, is put into the pot A, and the pot is then closed with cover Fand set to boil. Then the boiling takes place, the cover is removed andthe proper quantity of fine-ground coffee is immediately put into thepot. The condensercase O is put in its place and the condenser B beingsupplied with the cooling material is placed in the case C, the top Ehaving been put on. The pot A is then subjected to the boiling processas long as may be necessary to obtain the full essence of the coffee,which will be in four or five minutes. The steam will arise and passinto the case O around in the space G of the condenser-case C, and,beingcooled by contact with the surface of the condenser B, will drop backinto the pot A.

The heat of the cover F should not be greater than will adinit ofitsbeing held by the hand. This will indicate that the boiling has beensuflicient.

The spont I-I has a strainer h at the bottom, 'which it is not necessaryto show in the drawings,as it is a well-known device, and a Valve h' atthe top.

I claim- .f

In an apparatus for boiling cofee,lthe combination of the pot A, thecondenser-case C,

and the air-tight conden'ser B, substantialiy 1 as and for the purposedescribed.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
